â€˜Drowning in Suburbiaâ€™

Photo Description:

â€˜Drowning in Suburbiaâ€™
By Hannah Marshall, from Queen Anneâ€™s School, Caversham.
A2 Level work
Materials: Oil paint on board, & resin.
Having studied and admired the work of contemporary photorealist Eric Zener, I was compelled to produce an image that touched on the notion of escaping the banality of our current era. Being submerged beneath the blanket of water offers a sense of escapism and I hope that viewing this painting evokes the same feeling.
I am currently studying on the Art Foundation course at Oxford Brookes University.
